wonder woman has a new look...

[GL]

since many of us happy homos have a fascination with wonder woman (be it the bustier, the golden lasso or maybe the costume changing spin) i thought i'd share this with you and see what you think.

check it out... wonder woman's new look.

yes? no? meh?

i'll add a poll just for shits and giggles.

 

[Nomenclature]

Boo.

And in distantly related news: Why is it perfectly alright to make a formerly white character black (General Fury), but if you were to make Storm a white girl in a new comic, everyone would flip their shit?

 

[JayHawk]

Looks like they went for a Gothic overtone for Mrs. Women... yet I still like it

 

[Ephemeral]

I like her new design sooo much better.

Her iconic costume was outdated and cheesy. This one is sleeker, modest, and modern, shoulder pads included. It matches the 'tougher' feel the writers are going for. I would've liked more color though.

Nomenclature, well, there are truckloads of white superheroes and a sandbox of black superheroes. Maybe that's the reason. It'd be the same if they slapped peach skin on a Latino or Asian superhero.

Storm was the first black superhero to be in a comic book and she's an icon. You don't mess with a good thing.

That sound you heard was a million pasty kids in mom's basement jerking off in tandem.

Dang, GL, you beat me to making the thread! *shakes fist at you*



I wasn't digging the sketch version of the costume, but seeing it implemented in the comic it doesn't look too bad.

I've been saying for awhile now that she's needed an update, tho I don't know about the complete change.

And what's with the new origin story? She's smuggled out of her home world while her mother and most of the Amazons are killed? Sounds a lot like Supermans.


One thing I do like, is they've finally changed her bracelets from silver to gold. Her whole gold/silver accessory clash was horrible, and obviously designed by a straight man.

Well, Wonder Woman or Superman's costumes are iconic, as well. Why try to fix something that isn't broken?

 

[Ephemeral]

Costumes ≠ Race

before she was a classy whore with the spandex..

now, she looks like a 2 cents whore to me. And not even a pretty one either from the sketch. Modern? that jacket looks like the 90s to me. And the pants makes her look common.

 

[bbjohn]

She looks like a goth pole dancer. All that's missing is the cash sticking out of her waistband. I'm with Nomenclature with a little tweak on it--if it ain't broke, don't go and fuck it up! At least this doesn't sink to the level of her 70s "feminist" makeover.

 

[JeffnLA]

I like her past look better

 

[GL]

Dang, GL, you beat me to making the thread! *shakes fist at you*

ordinarily i would get my dander up for someone who shakes their fist at me but because you're cute, you're texan, you're geeky and did i say you're cute?

i'll totally forgive you.

I like it, but it's really similar to Donna Troy's costume, no?

that's what i was thinking myself.

One of those scenarios are racist.. The other one is revenge..


I'll leave it to someone else to decipher which is which


Btw thats one sexy ass bitch

 

[giftart]

MEH! I prefer her old costume. It was what make wonder woman wonder!

 

[StationToStation]

seriously a choker??? hmmm no! awful outfit, it's a retread of every bad fashion fad in the 70s, 80s, and 90's. the nails and the make up, on my gosh, Diana Prince may wear Chanel lipstick, but I know she's not buying Vamp.

 

[sapien]

Ugh! Horrible costume.

I like how in the old costume they incorporated the American flag. What is the point of this one?

 

[CumAlong]

Too much covering, shes doesn't fit the part of an amazon with this new costume at all....They broke something that was perfectly fine.

 

[chatolandia]

The other one was a classic

this one is trendy



as in a decade ago trendy, actually two decades ago!

apparently comic book artists are not into fashion

 

[Treborf]

Are those...? My word, they are... Wonder Woman's costume now includes JEGGINGS! Modern update, indeed

 

[BabiGayPimp]

I can understand wanting to take her out of the traditional costume and give her the challenge of living more fully in the contemporary world. However, I think they should have gone completely contemporary and ditched any remnant of the red white and blue swimsuit. The hybrid look doesn't work for me.
